INGREDIENTS

• Lean ground beef (90/10)
• Salt
• Pepper
• Onion
• Carrots
• Potatoes (11 oz.)
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 14.5 oz. can fire roasted tomatoes
• 3 ounces frozen peas
• 4 cups beef broth (32 oz.)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire

Substitutions & Variations

• Ground beef: Swap for lean ground turkey or chicken to lighten it up further.
• Potatoes: Use sweet potatoes for a different flavor and more fiber.
• Peas: Try green beans, corn, or even spinach if you prefer.
• Gluten-free: Replace flour with cornstarch (use half the amount, mixed with a little water).

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the beef: In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat with salt and pepper until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add the veggies: Stir in the onion, carrots, and potatoes. Sauté 5–7 minutes, until the onions turn translucent.
3. Thicken: Sprinkle in the flour and stir well to coat the beef and veggies.
4. Build the stew: Add the fire roasted tomatoes, peas, beef broth, Worcestershire, and any additional seasonings you like. Stir well.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30–60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the stew has thickened.
